Dunk'd Donuts

There's no denying that Keith Olbermann is as liberally biased as Sean Hannity is conservative. In fact, that could turn out to be the best cagematch concept ever (paging: CBS). However, Olbermann hit the bulls-eye on the recent Dunkin' Donuts / Rachael Ray commercial scandal, if you can even call it that.
"They were as weak of their decaf," Olbermann said.
An international conglomerate caved to pressure from a right-wing extremist blogger, Michelle Malkin? Not to mention, Ms. Malkin had her facts mistaken. That's probably because she feared people would misread the company's name as Malkin' Donuts and then assume it was actually Ms. Malkin wearing the scarf in the ad.

Still, it's absurd that a company like Dunkin' Donuts would be so quick to take a minimal, but still unjustifiable financial hit in the form of a wasted commercial because people continue to overreact while being misinformed.

More absurd? Olbermann calls for a boycott of the double-D. Anyone would be crazy to forgo coffee that delicious.
